Definitions
- the field of the invention is friction stir welding.
- Friction stir welding is an emerging method of fusing a variety of materials and provides numerous advantages over conventional welding methods.
- FSW is conceptually simple and typically does not require use of any filler metal or flux. As a result, a full strength bond can be achieved with optimal mechanical characteristics.
- friction stir welding is a solid state fusion process that occurs below the melting point of the material, problems associated with the heat affected zone, unwanted grain growth, shrinkage, and/or distortion can be reduced, if not even entirely avoided.
- FSW does in most cases not require post weld treatment. Even more advantageously, FSW provides an efficient and reliable way of joining selected dissimilar metals, and metals and thermoplastic polymers. Exemplary systems and methods of FSW are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,460,317 and 5,794,835. These and all other extrinsic materials discussed herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- a rotating tool (most commonly a non consumable tool (NCT)) rotates at a constant angular velocity and is pressed into the anticipated weld joint line that is formed by the first and second base materials.
- NCT non consumable tool
- the tool transverses along the joint line at constant velocity, and the frictional heat between the NCT and the first and second materials plasticizes the materials that are then forced around the tool.
- the transverse movement of the tool allows the mixed material (stir zone) to form a solid state joint (weld).
- the first and second base materials that are to be joined are generally held in a fixed position relative to each other to allow proper fusion.
- a load cell is operationally coupled to the tool such that the travel load can be monitored and maintained constant to so help improve the weld quality.
- specific tool geometry is employed to improve friction and movement of plasticized material as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 7,275,675.
- improved process and weld control was reported in U.S. Pat. No. 5,829,664 and WO 99/39861 where at least one of the work pieces were preheated.
- force controlled systems and methods frequently suffer from relatively slow transverse welding speed, and specific tool design typically limits the transverse force that can be applied, which results in slow welding speeds.
- difficulties may be encountered due to expansion, inadvertent overheating, etc.
- friction stir welding has generally only found acceptance and practical use with relatively soft or non-ferrous materials (e.g. , aluminum, magnesium, copper, zinc, and lead alloys) as these materials become plastic at relatively low temperatures.
- relatively soft or non-ferrous materials e.g. , aluminum, magnesium, copper, zinc, and lead alloys
- the use of friction stir welding of carbon steels or stainless steel has been limited by the lack of suitable tool materials that can withstand the high temperatures and pressures required to weld such harder materials.
- tools comprising polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) and/or polycrystalline diamond (PCD) have allowed use of FSW with harder materials.
- the present invention is directed to improved configurations and methods for FSW of relatively hard materials, and especially of steel and stainless steel materials.
- the inventors identified and characterized certain process parameters in FSW critical to predictable and reproducible formation of stable welds in various steel materials.
- contemplated configurations and methods are characterized by an elevated transverse velocity (typically above 12 in/min) and use of a spindle with near-zero (typically less than 5xlOE-4 inch) run out at zero load.
- Such methods and configurations significantly increase welding speed while producing reproducible welds with high integrity and strength.
- a method of friction stir welding a first base material to a second base material in which at least one of the first and second materials comprises a steel will therefore include a step of mounting a tool into a spindle of a friction stir welding apparatus, and another step of operating the apparatus at a spindle run out that allows welding at a critical transverse velocity to produce a weld between the first and second base materials.
- the weld has a tensile strength, yield strength, and/or Charpy impact strength that is at least that of the weaker of the first and second materials, and the critical transverse velocity is at least 12 inches per minute.
- the inventors also contemplate a method of increasing transverse velocity in friction stir welding of a first base material to a second base material (in which the first and/or second base materials comprises a steel) where the method includes a step of (a) providing a spindle of a friction stir welding apparatus that has a spindle run out that allows welding at a critical transverse velocity to produce a weld between the first and second base materials, or (b) reducing the spindle run out of the friction stir welding apparatus to the run out that allows welding at the critical transverse velocity to produce the weld.
- the so produced weld has a mechanical strength (e.g. , tensile strength, yield strength, and/or Charpy impact strength) that is at least that of the weaker of the first and second materials, and the critical transverse velocity is at least 12 inches per minute.
- the run out of the spindle at zero load is equal or less than 5xlOE-4 inch, more preferably equal or less than 4xlOE-4 inch, and most preferably equal or less than 2xlOE-4 inch.
- at least part of the tool is manufactured from polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, refractory alloy tungsten-rhenium, or polycrystalline diamond, and is configured as a non-consumable tool. While not limiting to the inventive subject matter, it is generally preferred that the tool has a (typically constant) angular velocity between 200-800 rpm and a transverse velocity of between 12-40 inches per minute.
- the transverse and angular velocities are selected such as to achieve a temperature in the weld that is below the phase change temperature and/or the solid state transformation point of the first and second base materials.
- At least one of the first and second materials comprise a steel material, and especially a carbon steel, a stainless steel, or a steel alloy.
- a steel material and especially a carbon steel, a stainless steel, or a steel alloy.
- especially contemplated materials include carbon steel ASTM Al 06 Grade B, carbon steel ASTM A333 Grade 6, API X42 carbon steel, API X52 carbon steel, API X60 carbon steel, and API X70 carbon steel.
- the first and second base materials have a cylindrical or planar shape, and that the FSW processes may be performed as linear FSW or orbital FSW.
- Figures IA and IB are tables illustrating selected FSW conditions and test results for welds produced with conventional FSW parameters and FSW weld parameters according to the inventive subject matter.
- Figure 2 is a graph illustrating anticipated mixing as a function of transverse velocity and angular velocities.
- the inventors have discovered specific process parameters in friction stir welding that yield predictable and desirable weld results in relatively hard metals, and especially steel and stainless steel. Most significantly, the inventors discovered that the transverse velocity of the NCT in such materials provides the most critical process parameter to obtain predictable and desirable weld quality, and that suitable transverse velocities can be obtained by ascertaining that the spindle that holds the NCT (or other tool) has a near-zero run out. When transverse velocity is properly taken into account, the inventors discovered that the weld will exhibit at least the same, and in most cases even better mechanical properties (e.g., tensile strength, yield strength, Charpy notch impact strength) than the weaker of the base materials.
- mechanical properties e.g., tensile strength, yield strength, Charpy notch impact strength
- transverse velocity of the NCT must be selected to a point below a velocity that causes damage to the NCT and/or weld (e.g., by breaking the NCT and/or leaving contaminants in the weld), but also to a point above a velocity that causes unwanted high temperatures (e.g., temperature close to the phase change or transformation point of the materials to cause a non-solid state fusion or phase transformation that can lead to solidification defects).
- transverse velocity of the NCT should also be sufficiently fast to avoid or reduce over-homogenization of the materials (e.g., mixing greater than 3 times) in the stir welded zone.
- FSW can be performed to join first and second base materials (most typically steel materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and steel alloys) by using a spindle that has a near-zero run out.
- first and second base materials most typically steel materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and steel alloys
- the near zero run out is a significant component for achieving critical transverse velocity without significantly raising the risk of tool breakage or deposition of tool material in the weld.
- run out refers to difference between the theoretical axis of rotation (which perpendicularly intersects the center of the weld) and the actual axis of rotation.
- a tool rotating in a spindle with a run out will move along a circular path wherein the path circumscribes the theoretical axis of rotation.
- a run out that would ordinarily be characterized as relatively minor e.g., lxl0E-3 inch at zero load
- the FSW apparatus is operated at a spindle run out that allows welding at a critical transverse velocity (infra) to produce a weld between the first and second base materials.
- a critical transverse velocity infra
- Using such operating conditions preferably at a critical transverse velocity of at least 12 inches per minute
- Tables IA and IB of Figures IA and IB illustrate typical data from FSW processes in which two steel pipes of indicated materials were welded together using a non-consumable tool at negligible loss.
- each material was tested at two distinct conditions, one conventional condition using slow NCT transverse velocity, and one fast NCT transverse velocity using a spindle having a run out of less than 4xlOE-4 inch. All other parameters were held constant throughout the duration of the experiment. The remaining process factors such as NCT angular velocity, downward thrust, tilt angle, and plunge were chosen based on well known practice for the respective materials.
- Testing was performed to measure the yield and tensile strength, ductility, and fracture toughness. It is important to analyze the mechanical properties of the weld to verify the integrity and stability of the fused joint. The mechanical properties of the weld are of critical importance and thus demand control of input parameters, and particularly transverse velocity of the NCT. Where the fracture toughness of the weld was tested, the pass-fail criterion was established based on experimental specification ASTM E 1290-07, "Standard Test Method for Crack-Tip Opening Displacement (CTOD) Fracture Toughness Measurement", and a modified testing procedure.
- CTOD Crack-Tip Opening Displacement
- Table IB contains typical test results and shows that welds according to the inventive subject matter passed the CTOD test for all of the fast NCT transverse velocity trials.
- the test results also show that for all of the slow NCT transverse velocity trials that the weld failed the CTOD test.
- the CTOD of the base material was compared to the CTOD of the weld.
- the fast NCT transverse velocity trials yielded weld CTOD that was equal to or greater than the base material CTOD
- the slow NCT transverse velocity trials yielded weld CTOD that was less than the base material CTOD.
- the transverse velocity (in/min) of the non consumable tool has a direct correlation to the integrity and stability of the weld.
- high transverse velocity with the near zero run out set up produced welds that were of equal or even better mechanical strength than the weaker of the base materials that were joined using such methods. Therefore, it should also be appreciated that the FSW according to the inventive subject matter will also provide a substantially higher rate of deposition of materials in a single pass.
- contemplated methods and configurations will also enable a method of increasing transverse velocity in friction stir welding of a first base material to a second base material (with at least one of the first and second base materials preferably comprising a steel) by either providing a spindle of a friction stir welding apparatus that has a spindle run out that allows welding at a critical transverse velocity to produce a weld between the first [0025] It should be noted that the test results were not limited to a single steel material, but were found to apply to numerous other materials as shown in the Tables.
- suitable materials include other steel materials (e.g., ASTM Al 06 Grade B, carbon steel ASTM A333 Grade 6, API X42 carbon steel, API X52 carbon steel, API X60 carbon steel, and API X70 carbon steel), stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, super austenitic stainless steel, low and high alloy steels, and numerous other metals. Still further, it should be recognized that the FSW process according to the inventive subject matter includes processes in which same, similar, and dissimilar materials are being joined. Therefore, even non-metal materials and especially polymeric materials are deemed suitable for use herein.
- Non- consumable tools may comprise tool steels, ceramics (e.g., polycrystalline diamond (PCD), polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN), refractory alloy tungsten-rhenium (W- Re)), and all reasonable combinations thereof.
- PCD polycrystalline diamond
- PCBN polycrystalline cubic boron nitride
- W- Re refractory alloy tungsten-rhenium
- run out in heretofore known FSW devices will typically lead to catastrophic failure (e.g., breaking of the tool) and/or undesirable welds (e.g., welds with tool deposits) where the transverse velocity was increased, and especially where the transverse velocity was increased to a speed of over 8-10 inches per minute.
- the run out was near zero (e.g., run out at zero load of less than 5xlOE-4 inch, more preferably 4xlOE-4 inch, and most preferably 2xlOE-4 inch)
- the tool withstood substantially increased lateral loads and so supported transverse velocities of 20 inches per minute (and even higher).
- transverse velocities of between 10 and 40 inches per minute and even higher are contemplated (with angular velocities of up to 1200 rpm).
- operating conditions avoid over-homogenization and therefore provide improved mechanical weld properties.
- the optimal transverse velocity of the tool is typically between 12 to 40 inches per minute to obtain mechanical properties of the weld that are equal to or better than the mechanical properties of the weaker of the two base materials.
- the weld mechanical properties exhibited a step function at a NCT transverse velocity, typically within the range of 7 to 12 inches per minute. Transverse velocities above the step function (critical transverse velocity) lead to less mixing (and with that less heating) of the material while transverse velocities below the step function lead to more mixing (and with that more heating) of the material.
- transverse velocities below the step function are also deemed suitable for use herein and are typically limited at the lower end by velocities that produce undesirable temperatures (e.g., close to a phase or solid state transition point of a material).
- suitable transverse velocities will include those that will avoid leaving a NCT contaminant in the weld.
- alternative transverse velocities e.g. , faster than 40 inches per minute, or less than 14 inches per minute
- the angular velocity of the NCT it is generally preferred that the angular velocity will be in the range of 200 rpm to 1200 rpm, more typically in the range of 200 rpm to 800 rpm, even more typically in the range of 300 rpm to 700 rpm, and most typically in the range of 400 rpm to 600 rpm (see e.g., Tables IA and IB). It should further be noted that in most tests the angular velocity was maintained constant while the transverse velocity was changed. However, it should be appreciated that in other weld systems (e.g., using different material thickness, types, etc.) these parameters may change as the weld is a function of both angular velocity and transverse speed.
- FIG. 2 shows an exemplary graph illustrating anticipated mixing as a function of transverse velocity and angular velocities (here: 400, 800, and 1200 rpm).
- the FSW processes according to the inventive subject matter will improve weld mechanical properties (e.g., tensile strength, yield strength, toughness, and ductility) where the transverse velocity of the non consumable tool (NCT) along the joint line is at a relatively fast rate, typically above the step function between 7 and 14 inches per minute.
- NCT non consumable tool
- Such processes are especially desirable where FSW is performed by a device that allows orbital welding of pipe joints at speeds of up to 40 inches per minute, and even higher.
- other devices e.g., suitable for planar welding and other geometries are also expressly contemplated herein.
